How much do we miss because we never ask?
In this message from Just Ask, Pastor Justin Jenkins teaches from Matthew 7:7-11. Jesus does not just give permission. He gives a promise. Ask, seek, and knock are not three techniques for getting something from God. They are three pictures of dependence.
This message will help you:
• See why Jesus attaches a promise to a simple ask
• Stop treating prayer like a presentation God has to grade
• Bring Him what you have been managingScripture:
Matthew 7:7-11 — Ask, seek, knock; your Father gives good gifts
Matthew 6:8 — Your Father knows what you need before you ask
James 4:2 — You do not have because you do not ask God -

Have you ever gotten exactly what you asked for and realized it wasn't what you needed?
In this message from Just Ask, Pastor Justin Jenkins teaches from Proverbs 4:7 and Proverbs 2. We carry more answers than any generation before us, yet wisdom still feels scarce. Whether you're learning, leading, or trying to grow, this message invites you into a teachable posture, so the questions shaping your life lead somewhere deeper than more information.
What if the growth you've been waiting on starts with a better ask?
This message will help you:
• Trade looking informed for staying teachable
• Notice wisdom already around you
• Bring real need, not polished certainty, to God and othersScripture References:
Proverbs 4, verse 7 – Get wisdom; though it cost all you have, get understanding
Proverbs 2, verses 1–6 – Call out for insight; the Lord gives wisdom
James 1, verse 5 – If you lack wisdom, ask God who gives generously
Matthew 11, verses 28–29 – Come to Jesus and learn from Him
